Qazi slams govt for no 'preaching budget'
 LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Ameer Qazi Hussain Ahmad has criticised the government for not allocating funds for preaching in the budget. He said that propagation of Islam was every Muslim's obligation.| I'm holding Qazi personally responsible for the new keyboard-shaped dents in my forehead. |
Delivering a Friday sermon at Jamia Mosque in Mansoora, Qazi deplored that a country created in the name of Islam had no allocation for preaching while grants were made for the expenses of cultural troupes and other 'extravaganzas'. Qazi Hussain said that removal of Islamic studies from the syllabus of classes one and two in schools was a conspiracy to secularise Pakistani society.
